Where did you learn to code in ASP?  Did you learn it a Uni/College or teach yourself through books & Forums...?

Also what ASP book do you still have on your shelf?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Myself....  I am still very much in the learning stage and doing so from Bruces applications and a couple of books.

Books on my shelf are:
  • Active Server Pages for Dummies
  • WROX - Active Server Pages 3.0

Just thought I'd throw this one in the air Tongue

I taught myself ASP and the first book I ever bought is:-

Active Server Pages 3.0 by Example

The only other ASP books I have bought and still use all the time are some O'Reilly reference books:-

ASP in a Nutshell - A Desktop Quick Reference
VBScript in a Nutshell - A Desktop Quick Reference
VBScript Pocket Reference

Although, I started writing Basic 20 years ago now, on a Commodore 64 with their Basic v2, which in some ways is similar to VBscript.

I also did a module in VB at University, where I was taught the coding standards that I use within my code.

I started by by looking on the tutorials on this site. Then I brought the Active Server Pages 3 by Example book, and then ASP in a Nutshell.

Before ASP I started to Lean VB (Visual Basic) which is similar to ASP so when I started to use ASP I was familiar with the syntax of it so I picked it up quiote quickly.

I Learned VB from a course at school. I mainly learned ASP from w3schools and various google searches. The actual books didn't help me that much...
